Russ Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wife recently departed cairns to Darwin, overnight there, then going international. My ph rings, she's arrived Darwin........forgot her passport. All hell breaks loose, somehow I've got to get it to her, same day. No probs, I grab passport, and race to qantas freight, place it into a plastic satchel, given guarantee it will arrive Darwin late afternoon.......bewdy. Then.......chap says $180.00 please.........you must be joking is my reply......if you want it there today sir, it's $180.00 ......maaate I says, I can book a one way seat there for less than that, no comment.

SDQDI Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wow nearly worth slipping a passenger a 50, although finding someone you can trust is the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Price is not what it costs to do the job, but what the buyer can be cajoled into paying. First rule of accountancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA. Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I once had to get an item to Melbourne from Adelaide that day. Jumped on a Virgin and personally delivered it including the Sky bus fare into Melbourne for less than the air freight quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
